IEEE 1394 Data Transfer
Transferring IEEE1394 (i.LINK)-DV standard data connections
Connecting to a DV Device
Connecting with other DV standard products. A standard DV connection is quite simple. If a product has a DV port, you can transfer data by connecting to the DV port using the correct cable.
!!! Please be careful since there are two types of DV ports, (4pin, 6pin). This Camcorder has a 4pin terminal.
With a digital connection, video and audio signals are transmitted in digital format, allowing high quality images to be transferred.
Connecting to a PC
If you want to transmit data to a PC, you must install a IEEE 1394 add-on card onto the PC. (not supplied)
The frame rate recorded for video capturing is dependent on the capacity of the PC.
[ Notes ]
When you transmit data from the Camcorder to another DV device, some functions may not work. If this occurs, please reconnect the DV cable or turn the power OFF and ON again.
When you transmit data from the Camcorder to PC, PC function button is not available in M.Player mode.
Do not use the Camcorder and IEEE1394 together as this will cause IEEE1394 to shut off.
Do not connect the Camcorder to a PC using both DV and USB cables. It may not operate properly.
Operation is not guaranteed for all computer environments recommended above.
The IEEE1394 cable (DV cable)is sold separately.
Video Capture software is commercially available.
Most DV enabled PCs have a 6 pin socket. In this case, a 6-4 cable is required for the connection.
Most DV enabled Notebooks and Laptops have a 4 pin socket. Use a 4-4 cable for the connection.
